Look at it this way:
Every conservative candidate except she was defeated in the primary election.

or

Every conservative candidate except her was defeated in the primary election.

That helps??

Why the use of "her", a possessive pronoun, correct here?

I did the same thing. Unfortunately I got 'Every conservative candidate except she was defeated in the primary election.'
